Keep catalog reviews moving from Asana

Tag a catalog review task and have Notis retrieve the named Unity Catalog catalog's details for a quick, focused review.

Trigger

Tag Added to Task

Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.

Action

Get Catalog Details

Tool to retrieve details of a specific catalog in Unity Catalog. Use when you need to get information about a catalog including its metadata, owner, properties, and configuration. Requires metastore admin privileges, catalog ownership, or USE_CATALOG privilege.

Why this helps

Catalog review tasks often require a separate Databricks lookup before a teammate can make the next decision.

  • Retrieve catalog metadata from the task's review context.
  • Include catalog ownership and configuration details in a run report.
  • Make it easier to pick up a catalog review without a separate lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve details for the Unity Catalog catalog named in the task and summarize them in the run report.
  • 4Pick Asana's Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real tagged task that names a catalog the connected account can access.

Questions about this workflow

Does the tag need to contain the catalog name?

No. For Asana tag events, the event identifies the task and the tag. Include the catalog name in the task so Notis knows which catalog to look up.

Will the automation update the catalog?

No. This workflow retrieves catalog details for review and does not change the catalog.

What if no catalog name is in the task?

The catalog name must be supplied in the task. Notis cannot infer which catalog the review concerns.
